the defeat of the Rua-
Thc cane or the "MlMOurl Kid." otb-
erwlM William Rudolph and George
Collins, the Union, Mo., bank robber*,
la again attracting wide attention.
The two desperadoes, though scarce-
ly 21 yearH old, arc credited with
highway robberies, bank robberies and
murder. On December 27. 1902. they
blew open the safe of the bank at
Union, Mo., containing about 912,000.
The act was committed In the open,
the outlaws keeping the citizens at
bay with drawn revolvers. I^atfr on
they murdered a Plnkerton detective,
sent to effect their capture. They then
r.°«2S
fled to Connectitcut, where they were
captured nearly a year later.
From the St. Louis Jail where they
were ulareri for earn keeping. Hudolph.
the most desperate o( the two, made
a daring and sensational escape Col-
lins who wait tried tor murder of the
detective, found guilty and sentenced
to death, the dale of the execution be-
ing set for this week.
After roaming at large for months.
Rudolph has now been recaptured In
Kansas, and It Is probable that the
execution of Collins will lie stayed
until after I lie trial of his partner In
crime.

WtaaMnvton, March •.—'Die members of
eongrcus who have In the pant shown «
hostile feeling toward the Dawn com-
mission are now fully In accord with the
recommendations of Charles J. Bonaparte
and will Insist that the commlenlon be
tbellshcd and that new administrative
methods should be put Into effect in the
Indian Territory without delay. When
the Indian appropriation bill retvclies the
senate, it Is aald. an amendment will be
offered striking out the provlaion of the
bill inserted by the houae providing
funds to be paid an aularlea to the mem-
bers of the commission, and substituting
a section providing for the appointment
of one commission to take charge of tin;
allotment work. The amendment directs
that this commission shall be paid a
salary of J10.QU0 a year. As there are
four members of the Dawes commission
each of whom la paid 16.000 u year, the
adoption of this amendment would save
tho government $10,000 a yeur In salaries
alone.
The amendment Is known to have the
approval of the mombera of the senate
committee on Indian affairs and that It
will be offered by Senator Stewart, chair-
man of that committee. There was great
opposition to the appropriations for a
continuance of the work under the di-
rection of the commission when they
were discussed In the houae i ut they
finally prevailed The prediction was
made with confidence today that the sen-
ate would adopt the proposed amend-
ment.

concerning the sweeping
charges which ar« promised In the super-
vision of the Indian Territory.
Aald ho: "While I have been In favor
of abolishing the Dawwi commission
placing tho alotment work In chargc of
h single official, there is some question
as to tho advisability of making such a
change at thla time. The Dawes commis-
sion can complete the work wltntn a
year and a half, and 1 do not think a
single official could complete it within
two years, at the leaat. The work In
the territory la progressing rapidly. Now
that the claim of the Delaware's has
been settled by the supremo court tne
Cherokee landf can be allotted and the
cltlaenahlp cases will soon be disposed of

• DESCRIPTION OF ATLAS. .
Four maps and frontispiece showing in colors all the
flags of the world. These maps are fastened together
at the top by means of a strip of gold lacquered metal.
Each map is printed on a sheet 28x36 inches in size
and is the best of its kind.
EASTERN HEMISPHERE.
This map is engraved after entirely new ideas and is
no doubt the most beautiful and practical reference map
ever printed. The land is shown in colors and water
in black, making a contrast that brings an immediate
correct impression of sizes and relative positions. It
also shows sailing routes and distances between import-
ant ports. It has been framed so as to ornament
the parlor or reading t'oom. It will please your eye
WESIERN HEMISPHERE.
Has all the features shown in the map of the eastern
hemisphere. These two maps give you the very latest
map of the world. .
The United States.
This is not an ordinary cheap advertising map but is
taken from the best world atlas published. It is replete
with much detail and is invaluable for reference pur-
noses Each state is colored and the capital is shown
n conspicuous type. It is what you need. Why not
qet it? _ ..
Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
This map is an entirely new engraving and shows
the geography'of the twin territories as it never before
has been depicted. Each county is in a separate and
distinct color. The countyseat is in heavy type. The
township and range lines and numbers are accurately
engraved and altogether it is equal to the largest school
map, as far as practical value goes. All the New
Railroads and new towns are accurately shown and
the towns are all indexed, so that they can be easily
located on the map.
